Bryan-College Station 3832 South Texas Avenue 47 freed Castro initiates political prisoner release United Press InternaHonal MIAMI— Cuban President Fidel Castro allowed the first 47 of the more than 12,000 political prisoners he claims to have freed to leave his communist country Saturday and fly to the United States where they were welcomed by thousands of weeping, clapping and cheering Cuban exiles. Castro told a short news confer ence in Havana, before the freedom flight departed, that he hopes to have all such political prisoners free by the year’s end. The 47 political prisoners and their families — numbering about 81 people — landed aboard a char tered Boeing 727 at Miami Interna tional Airport at 6:12 p.m. EDT, nearly two hours behind schedule. After clearing customs and immi gration, they were whisked to the Dade County Auditorium in two buses where the scene was sheer pandemonium. Shouts of joy and cheers were sounded as each politi cal prisoner stepped off the bus. The loudest reaction was heard for Tony Cuesta, the best-known of the group. Cuesta, 52, spent 12 years in Cas tro’s prisons after being caught in an attempted commando raid in 1966, where he was blinded and lost an arm. He was guided off the bus and into the crowd by his new wife, Carmen. “The most important thing for me to do now that I am free,” Cuesta said, “is to work for the release of the people we left behind. I will dedicate all my resources to getting their release.” At his Havana news conference, Castro said, “I do this for humanita rian reasons and as a gesture of good will. I hope all the prisoners will be free by the end of the year. I have already liberated 12,000 to 14,000 political prisoners.” Asked how the 47 were selected for the first freedom flight, Castro said, “Those who had difficulty in getting jobs were given priority to leave first.” The prisoner release came under Castro’s newly initiated dialogue with the Cuban exile community. “This dialogue is strictly between Cuba and the Cuban community abroad, not the U.S. government,” explained Castro. “If the United States objects, it would go against Carter’s human rights campaign.” But he admitted one reason he took the initiative on the prisoner release was because the United States, under the Carter administra tion, has changed its policies toward Cuba. “They’ve stopped sending spy planes over Cuba and lifted a ban on travel to Cuba,” he said. Castro also had land words for the Cuban exiles who fled the Com munist regime. “I have a good opin ion of most of the Cuban community in Miami,” he said. ‘There is no war between the Cuban community and us. We are not only Marxists- Leninists, but are also nationalists and patriots.” Cuesta said he will speak throughout the Miami Cuban exile community in support of a dialogue between community leaders and the Castro government over the release of the remainder of the po; prisoners.
